Summary Guideline for the seismic performance evaluation of dams against large earthquake (draft, 2005) prescribes the minimum response spectrum for seismic performance evaluation. In this study, the minimum response spectrum was compared with near-fault strong motions from concealed fault earthquakes and probabilistic seismic hazard in order to investigate its validity.
